Jay, I featured some of your artwork in my latest Journal entry . Then I sent you a Note to that effect, though it could have died a horrible electronic death somehow and never reached you.
Judging by your long absence, plus the fact you're referred to in the third person on your Profile page, it probably won't be the "latest" of my Journal entries when (and if) you get to see it; but I do thank you for sharing your art with us. Best wishes and good luck to you!

You are entirely welcome, Jay! I saw the completely unjustified clobbering you took in comments to "Wading for the Sun" (a painting I love) and since I too appreciate abstract/surreal art in addition to female beauty it seemed a feature was in order.
Your paintings of surf culture—especially surfer girls—are inspiring, to say the least. Your "High and Mighty" is right up there with Katsushika Hokusai's "The Great Wave off Kanagawa " in depicting the awesome power (and beauty) of the sea.

Do you have an obsession with butts or something?

I don't care either way, because Jay seems to be a good role model for aspiring artists.

Thank you. I have no clue what that person is even talking about. Made me laugh.

From what I could see for myself on your dA page, I figured as much! And I thought the best way to shut him up was for me not to respond to him at all.
I look forward to watching you. Cheers!

Good energy. I appreciate that. You can't please everyone, nor do I try to.

Jay's not a very good role model because Jay believes in chain messages and is teaching artists to live in fear of stupid nonexistent things.
